Unexpected win last night, but as pointed out in the GDT it has been typical of the bizarre and awful season that is the Toronto Blue Jays 2012. Still a pretty good win. Congrats to EE for joining the 40/100 club and also presumably the winner of the most pleasant surprise of 2012 award... if that existed.

Baseball History - September 14th - National Pastime - Baseball History
1987 The Blue Jays blast a major league record of ten home runs in an 18-3 rout of the Orioles at Camden Yards. Ernie Whitt goes deep three times Rance Mulliniks and George Bell each hit a pair and Lloyd Moseby Rob Ducey and Fred McGriff each go deep once with Baltimore's Mike Hart adding one to tie the two-team major league mark of 11. Also broken is Cal's consecutive innings streak. EDITED: The Link detail is wrong. It was at Exhibition Stadium not Camden Yards.
